PowerShell script to convert actionscript to mediawiki content for codex

Goto Public Github CodexEntries.as
Find the function for the Codex entry you want( fenoxo names functions stupidly sometimes, but the configureCodex() main function will include a short list of them all).
Highlight all the lines starting with "outputCodex" within the function.
Copy paste those lines into notepad and save the file as codex.txt
Open PowerShell. Should be included with windows.
cd into the dir that you stored codex.txt
Paste this code:

$path = ".\codex.txt";
(Get-Content $path -Raw) | Foreach-Object {
    $_ -replace "`t","" `
    -replace "clearOutputCodex\(\);","" `
    -replace ".*CodexManager.*","" `
    -replace ".*randBust.*","" `
    -replace ".*showBust.*","" `
    -replace "outputCodex\(header\(`".*.`"\)\);","" `
    -replace "\/\/.*","" `
    -replace "outputCodex\(`"","" `
    -replace "\r\n","" `
    -replace "\n","" `
    -replace "\r","" `
    -replace "\\n\\n","`n`n" `
    -replace "\\n","`n`n" `
    -replace "`"\);","" `
    -replace "outputCodex\(blockHeader\(`"","</blockquote>`n===" `
    -replace "`"\)\);","===`n<blockquote>" `
    -replace "\\`'","`'" `
    -replace "\\`"","`"" `
    -replace "\\\(","\(" `
    -replace "\\\)","\)" `
    -replace "if *\([\=\ a-zA-Z0-9\(&*\[\]$^\*<!=>%|\-+/_`"]*\)","" `
    } | Set-Content $path -Force;
"__NOTOC__ `r`n<onlyinclude>`r`n<blockquote>`r`n" + (Get-Content $path -Raw) | Set-Content $path -Force;
Add-Content $path "`r`n</blockquote>`r`n</onlyinclude>`r`n[[Category: Codices ]]";

If everything worked the text in codex.txt should have changed and can be copy/pasted into any codex wiki article. It should include the right categories, formatting, and deal with any other weirdness. You should still read the article to make sure. I tested it on PS5 (default in Windows 10), but I believe back to Windows 7 is okay.

Troubleshooting

Get-Content : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null.
- Your path variable wasn't set to a valid destination. Make sure to do $path = ".\dongs.txt" and that you are in the right directory.

Script to Generate List of All Codecies Codexes? codi?

Goto Public Github CodexEntries.as
Highlight configureCodex function's contents
Copy paste those lines into notepad and save the file as codmain.txt
Open PowerShell. Should be included with windows.
cd into the dir that you stored codmain.txt
Paste this code:

$path = ".\codmain.txt";
(Get-Content $path -Raw) | Foreach-Object {
    $_ -replace "`t","" `
    -replace "\n\/\/.*","" `
    -replace "\/\/.*","" `
    -replace "CodexManager.*[\=\ a-zA-Z0-9\(\)&*\[\]$^\*<!=>%|\-+/_]*, *`"","`* `[`[Codex: " `
    -replace "`",[\=\ a-zA-Z0-9\(\)&*\[\]$^\*<!=>%|\-+/_;,]*","`]`]" `
    } | Set-Content $path -Force;

It should generate a wiki formatted list that can be pasted in an edit page. Then just hit Show Preview and it will make links to all the pages.

Output

Codex: Stormguard

Codex Fiction

Goto Public Github CodexFiction.as
Highlight the function's contents.
Copy paste those lines into notepad and save the file as titfiction.txt
Open PowerShell. Should be included with windows.
cd into the dir that you stored titfiction.txt
Paste this code:

$path = ".\titfiction.txt";
$url = Select-String $path -Pattern "<u>"| Select-Object Line;
(Get-Content $path -Raw) | Foreach-Object {
    $_ -replace "`t","" `
       -replace "clearOutputCodex\(\);","" `
       -replace "author(.*);","" `
       -replace ".*CodexManager.*","" `
       -replace ".*<u>.*","" `
       -replace "outputCodex\(header\(`".*.`"\)\);","" `
       -replace "\/\/.*","" `
       -replace "outputCodex\(`"","" `
       -replace "\r\n","" `
       -replace "\n","" `
       -replace "\r","" `
       -replace "\\n\\n","`n`n" `
       -replace "\\n","`n`n" `
       -replace "`"\);","" `
       -replace "outputCodex\(blockHeader\(`"","</blockquote>`n===" `
       -replace "`"\)\);","===`n<blockquote>" `
       -replace "\\`'","`'" `
       -replace "\\`"","`"" `
       -replace "\\\(","\(" `
       -replace "\\\)","\)" `
       -replace "if *\([\=\ a-zA-Z0-9\(&*\[\]$^\*<!=>%|\-+/_`"]*\)","" `
    } | Set-Content $path -Force;
"__NOTOC__ `r`n<onlyinclude>`r`n<blockquote>`r`n" + $url + (Get-Content $path -Raw) | Set-Content $path -Force;
Add-Content $path "`r`n</blockquote>`r`n</onlyinclude>`r`n[[Category: Codices ]]`r`n[[Category: Fiction]]"; 
(Get-Content $path -Raw) | Foreach-Object {
    $_ -replace "`t","" `
       -replace "outputCodex\(`"","" `
       -replace "`"\);","" `
       -replace "<a[^>]*>","" `
       -replace "<\/a>","" `
       -replace "@{Line=","" `
       -replace "}","" `
       -replace "\\n","`n`n" `
    } | Set-Content $path -Force;

If everything worked the text in titfiction.txt should have changed and can be copy/pasted into any the correct Sotry codex page. It should include the right categories, formatting, and deal with any other weirdness. You should still read the article to make sure. I tested it on PS5 (default in Windows 10), but I believe back to Windows 7 will have a working PS version.

Notes

The script keeps in the author's name, but removes the website links. This is partly due to laziness and partly because I don't want to post the links all over the wiki in case of spam-bots or other maliciousness.
